For anyone letting property in or around Riggend, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

How we handle worktop repair in Riggend

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and people most often call us about knife marks and a heat mark or burn.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Riggend

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Common problems we fix in Riggend

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
